On the vast land, the green leather train goes over mountains and mountains, through big white clouds, all the way to the west and flies away.

Looking through the window, sometimes a touch of gold or a cluster of pink flashes in the boundless green. It seems that the warm spring has sprinkled the primary colors of life and is decorating the summer that is close at hand.

Seven o silently looked out of the window, doesn't seem to care about all this. He only has shadows in his eyes and frowned, but he can't see a trace of emotion.

Yes, he is neither a poet nor a tourist. What should he pay attention to? He is a loser and doesn't even know where his destination is. From early morning to dusk, Ah Qi kept his chin posture and hunched his back, making people come and go.

It seems that he no longer belongs to this noisy world, and his soul has already drifted back to the long-lost years. ...

In 2008, Aqi went to senior three at the age of 18.

It's not very hot in the south, and the fan doesn't start, but it doesn't prevent it from squeaking all the time. No one dares to sit in the third row in the middle. Although it is a land of feng shui, it is no less than a game of gambling on people's heads.

One second ago, the classroom was noisy, and before the head teacher stepped into the class gate, his ball-like stomach betrayed him, so the next second, the class was quiet.

With his hands behind his back and a piece of paper in his hand, a stout lump slowly moved to the podium. Although dozens of people in the room dare not lift their heads, their eyes are full of energy. They secretly look at the paper. Everyone knows there is nothing to see at all, but it is a strange tacit understanding.

Cheng An, the head teacher, was about forty or fifty years old when he suddenly noticed something strange in the classroom.

He glanced at the empty middle, immediately took out the paper behind him and spread it on the platform, adjusted the glasses still on his face and cleared his throat. Everyone sits up, because this gesture means that there is something important to announce.

"On March 30th, the day after tomorrow, the lighting ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games will be held in ancient Olympia, Greece. It happens to be Sunday, so the activity will be broadcast live in the school auditorium. Let's put our hands up. Let me register. "

There was silence under the podium.

Cheng An repeated that the original silence was broken and replaced by a large whispering.

At this time, Xiaoqi slowly raised his right hand, put it down and raised it.

Over and over again, Cheng An finally saw it. He said, ok, seven, remember to come then.

The eyes of the whole class were focused on him. Seven o nodded and heaved a sigh of relief, like Wan Ma Benteng in Qian Qian.

Knowing that everyone goes back to watch TV on Sunday, who will go to school?

Yes, I'm afraid it's just him. How much he doesn't want to raise his black hand in public, but what can he do? If there is a TV at home, who wants to run to the empty auditorium!

Although he can't imagine what kind of ceremony it is, it must be very shocking. After all, the farthest place he went was the county seat, and it was good to see such a spectacular scene on TV. His heart jumped at the thought, but he immediately thought of a bad thing-dad didn't know if he would agree.

Seven's mother was thirty-nine years old when she gave birth to him. Unfortunately, she died in childbirth. He has lived with his thin father since he was a child. The family's economy is not good, so my father works at sunrise and rests at sunset. In normal times, my father will be happy to support me when he hears the news. He may not know what the ignition ceremony is about, but it is a national event and he must understand it.

But now is the season of picking new tea, and you can be busy for dozens of dollars a day on holiday. Xiaoqi suddenly felt a little ignorant, but the fire in her heart had burned into a raging fire. At this moment, he couldn't wait to run back and tell his father the news.

When he got home, he told his father about it falteringly. Dad didn't refuse, just said it was a good thing! I heard about it, too, or I'm going to let you go to my second dad's house to watch it. Good, good.

Seven dad, who is honest and dutiful, is used to seeing people in life. Nothing, he is much more practical, and the wrinkles around his eyes are all piled up with laughter.

Xiaoqi smiled, too. They sat on a long board nailed with wood, immersed in their own happiness.

03

On Sunday, before dawn, Ah Qi got dressed and set off from home. He doesn't want to take the bus, and it costs ten yuan to get from home to the county seat. Few people go to high school in the village. Except for the son of the secretary of the village head, all the others are bald. Few people want to go out, and there are buses every day. Young people should exercise more! Ah Qi kept hinting at himself and went to school unconsciously.

He walked into the auditorium, and there were only four students besides several teachers on duty. Seeing his peers, he was relieved again. These people are probably similar to their own situation, so he casually found a seat in front and sat down with his head held high.

After a long time, the big screen flashed. On the altar in front of the temple of Hera, a woman will light a fire on the concave mirror with a firearm. The sun shines on it. She stood in front of the altar, holding high the fire.

Archie just watched the sun light the torch, and then in a burst of cheers, he ran with the torch.

The exciting voice soon infected everyone present, and Teacher Cheng An couldn't help crying. He said Papandreou was still praying that Apollo, the sun god, could give us a ray of sunshine and fire. The weather was terrible the other day. Look at today, how smooth it is.

Seven's eyes were fixed on the young man holding the torch. He is so full of vigor and vitality. How can there be such a world of difference between people? If only he was holding the torch and facing the sun!

But the idea just flashed by, and he turned to the person behind this visual feast-is it a photographer? This is simply a new world. If only I could be such a person, just like a bird flying freely in the sky. Ah Qi is possessed and fantasizes about everything. ...

Suddenly someone patted himself on the back. He turned around and bumped into a pair of clear eyes. She reminded him to lock the door before going back after releasing his classmates.

Seven o dazed, blushed, quickly got up and strode away.

04

As time went by, many things changed. For example, the lukewarm communication between Ah Qi and the female classmate, the leaves of the school tree have grown to cover the sky, "Welcome to Beijing" and those lovely Fuwa are also popular in the streets.

These are undoubtedly the best seasonings for the nervous and boring senior three.

One day, after the evening self-study, Ah Qi slipped out of the dormitory when she couldn't sleep, and both roommates slept. In this small county, few people stay overnight, and most high school students are day students. It's almost midnight, but summer is coming and the weather is still very dry.

After wandering around the playground, I thought it would be better to go to the rooftop to cool off and sleep, and there will be classes tomorrow.

He crept upstairs so as not to disturb several people in the building.

The door on the roof is actually closed. Seven o just pushed it and was scared by a panicked voice. Who!

Seven o a stumble, even people rushed out with the door. He felt a pain and went straight to his back. When he looked back, he only saw Cheng An standing there stupefied.

Can I meet the head teacher when I go out in the middle of the night? Seven suddenly panicked. He saw the waste paper wipe the floor and the class teacher stood there with a pen and paper.

Teacher? Teacher? Cheng An shook his head a few times and crept to pull Ah Qi to his side and sat down. What are you doing in the middle of the night?

Seven o didn't answer, glanced up and down at the teacher and the surrounding scene, Cheng An was silent again.

Without saying a word, the two men leaned against the wall where the residual temperature had not faded during the day, watching the moonlight, cold and soft, quietly sprinkled on the rooftop like running water. Xiaoqi thought it would be great if this moment was recorded. He picked up a paper ball and found many interesting words written on it.

Cheng Anben wanted to take it away from him, but it's no use crying over spilt milk. He said to Xiao Qi, can you understand what I wrote? I always insist on writing novels, but they are all furtive, afraid of others watching jokes!

Ah Qi didn't understand, so he asked, "Teacher, you write so well, why do others laugh?" ?

Cheng An sighed and wrote another novel. It is very likely that you won't catch a penny, and you will never return. For an adult like me, it is just a waste of time. Hey, there's something you don't understand.

Ah Qi really can't see this person who is as thick as a cylinder and as thin as a cone, and actually likes these literary things. Then he nodded and said, teacher, then I must keep this secret for you.

Cheng An looked at the boy in front of him, sighed, slowly turned around and folded the crumpled papers one by one.

05

The next day, Cheng An came in with a big smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his fatigue. Everyone is sitting in the classroom, and the third row is still empty.

"Not long ago, everyone watched the ignition ceremony? How does it feel? "

Everyone is having a heated discussion, which is undoubtedly the best answer.

"The country is becoming more and more developed, and all walks of life also need talents. Today, if you don't say anything else in this class, you will talk about the future and the ideal! "

Again, but there is no specific answer. Well, where there are specific forms, which law stipulates that people cannot be unrestrained.

Some people say that they can drive luxury cars and blow air conditioners all year round. Some people say they want to be scientists and pilots. Although they are all adult children, talking about this topic is no different from that of primary school students. It's just routine. Yes, life is like this! I just don't know whether reality binds people's imagination or imagination binds reality. Cheng An was in high spirits, but when the trivial life was mixed with these, he felt dull and had to smile and nod gently.

Cheng An unconsciously turned his attention to Ah Qi, a boy with a very low sense of existence. He has no outstanding achievements, but his appearance is also ordinary. Because of poor family conditions, he never applied for a grant. What does he think all day? He remembered the scene that collided with him last night.

Seven bumped into his eyes, and he felt a little abrupt. Then give yourself a chance to turn over. Do you know what a teacher is at his best? Every one of you thinks I'm looking at you, but I'm not looking at anyone!

There's a commotion down there. It all makes sense.

Cheng An glanced at seven o again. At the moment, he is too eager to know what he thinks.

So he deliberately called the roll, looking for a circle is actually looking for seven.

Ah Qi was a little surprised, because only the math teacher looked for him once in three years. Although he knew the answer, he didn't say anything.

He hesitated for a moment, ready to say that he wants to be a photographer, but who can say this without laughing at himself? He remembered the light at the lighting ceremony and the boy with the torch, and replied, I hope I can chase the sun every day. Wherever the sun goes, I will go. Because the sun will shine, heat, and give people endless energy. ...

Originally, everyone was listening to this kind of words in the fog. At this time, I don't know who said something. Isn't that a migrant worker?

The whole class burst into laughter! Yes, I have never heard anyone say that I dream of becoming a migrant worker.

Cheng An lost in thought. Seven o bowed his head, he knew that from the moment he spoke, everyone acquiesced that he was a joke.

The setting sun once again dyed the sky red. There are several sunset clouds floating in the distant sky, emitting dazzling light.

06

It's the end of May in a blink of an eye, which means that senior three students are about to face an important exam in their lives. The school took a few days off to go home and adjust their mentality. Seven went straight to the field. Transplanting rice at home today, others will naturally hire someone. His own rice was planted by his father.

This year is a coincidence, just to help. As soon as I entered Taguchi, I saw my father's bent figure. Dad is almost sixty years old and still doing these rough jobs. You know, at the age of the city, he is ready to support the elderly! Seven o nose a acid, hurriedly ran over.

Farmers, land is the greatest romance and poetry in life for them. Every sowing is a hopeful moment, and the fruits of hard work are so satisfying.

At seven o'clock, he stepped into the mud arm in arm. His father began to tell him about the hungry time when he didn't have enough food and warm clothes.

Every time I heard this, Ah Qi looked at her embarrassed appearance and was somewhat satisfied. If she had been born in those days, she didn't know whether she would survive. The present days are not happy for him. My father's generation worked hard for such days!

At noon, the sun is getting bigger and bigger, and Ah Qi feels that his back is going to crack. But at the moment, he remembered his speech and had an inexplicable sense of closeness to the sun. Is that his sun? So hot, so passionate. He came back at seven o'clock and his interest was even higher.

My father said this at seven o'clock, and then he was quiet for a while and began to repeat it. He's probably thinking about his lines. He's not tired at seven o'clock. He listens to them over and over again. They bent down to stand up and bend down again. This action lasted until the sun came home, and they didn't stop.

The next day, as soon as the sun vomited some sanhewu, dad set off again, and Ah Qi was particularly excited. Only by working hard can we move forward.

07

In the fierce competition of college entrance examination, Archie was admitted to a third-rate college. You know, the tuition alone is tens of thousands a year. Seven wants to get out of this small town and see the outside world. He wants to smell the flowers outside, listen to the cicadas in that unknown field, and then bring all this to people who are as eager to know these things as he is.

But all this was shattered. He knows that even if he is admitted to a good university, he will never be admitted, not to mention tens of thousands or hundreds of dollars, which are not small expenses for his family.

Ah Qi sits cross-legged halfway up the mountain, looking at the surrounding green. He is thinking, will people outside the mountain not know the scenery in the mountain?

But so what? Looking at his old father and the rotten wall at home, Ah Qi's crooked thoughts vanished in an instant.

The urgent task is the autumn harvest, which happens to be at home this year, so that rice will not be wasted and can be put away.

In this way, after several years, Ah Qi became a serious cultivator. But the conditions are much better than before. He bought a TV set at home, followed the fashion, and he also had a mobile phone, but he was always thinking about the outside world. If you don't read and don't know so many things, it doesn't matter, but you can read again.

But I can't leave my father who has been suffering all my life. That's like something. It is unrealistic for two people to go out, where there is so much money to spend.

Ah thought for seven days and seven nights, but there was nothing he could do, so he told his father who went to the fields together. He said, dad, I want to find a job outside. You see, every family has a labor force outside, and their family is much more developed.

I didn't expect dad to agree as readily as he promised to go to school to watch the ignition ceremony this time.

Seven questions, dad, what can you do?

The old man who has passed the flower armor cracked his mouth and said, I am old and I am not going anywhere. I am reluctant to part with this land.

I was very excited at seven o'clock. I ran after the sun all day and never stopped. He thought to himself, the sun is not lazy, so am I.

I was about to fall asleep at seven o'clock in the evening when I suddenly felt a pair of rough hands stroking his hair. He knew it was his old father, with tears in his eyes. He told him not to fall down and make a sound as if nothing had happened. He also heard the old man sobbing in a low voice

But dear dad, I've decided to go. I will definitely come back to see you often!

08

Seven came to the provincial capital by train. It was the first time he saw so many people, pulling his clothes stiffly, and he looked out of place in the crowd.

He was so happy and at a loss that he even thought of going back to the small village, but it soon went out. He doesn't know where to live, and staying in a hotel is too expensive. Will he run into the long corridor of the hospital and sit there quietly, or will it last all night?

He was patted on the back. He turned around and bumped into those clean eyes again. The world is so big, how can it be so small?

"Seven, remember me?"

Seven o looked at the girl in front of him, of course he remembered, but that white coat made him a little strange.

When she saw Seven staring, she said, What's wrong with you, a little doctor? Can I show it to you?

Seven o hurriedly shook his head. He nervously hid his canvas bag behind his back and couldn't say a word.

However, this female classmate is very generous. She said, I'm leaving work. Would you please have a snack?

She changed her clothes, wearing a white gauze skirt and white high heels. She has a slim figure, delicate skin color, blurred eyes, a slightly high and straight nose, closed unpainted lips and no ornaments on her earlobe and neck. She is so clean and beautiful.

At the moment, she easily picked up Seven's bag and walked down the street. Ah Qi has a feeling of indefinable. She straightened up at once and realized how charming the city was. He looks at everything around him, hoping that his eyes are a camera, so that he can record it and take it back for everyone to see ... The fireworks all over the street are much more vivid than those on TV. He looked at the female classmate with the canvas bag again, and her back was straighter.

It was many years before he realized that there was such a thing as self-esteem in this world. It is so strange that it often makes confident people free and easy, and makes people with low self-esteem suffer.

09

At seven o'clock, I found a circle of work, and no one wanted a high school diploma, so I had to move bricks on the construction site. He really became a migrant worker as his classmates said.

It's good to have a place to live. From now on, we should take a long-term view. Still thinking about his photography dream at seven o'clock. Whenever he has time, he goes to the provincial library to read books about photography. Send some home when you earn money, and then buy a camera ...

Since that meeting with his alumni, he has never worried about his embarrassment again. No matter how shabby it is now, Ah Qi can sit in the beautifully decorated library and watch it for a long time, regardless of other people's eyes.

He sometimes laughs at himself. I didn't expect that I really became a migrant worker chasing the sun. What an image, because I have to rest on rainy days!

But Ah Qi knows that the world is beautiful. There are trees in full bloom on sunny days, ripples in a lake on rainy days, the fragrance of every street, and love songs played by every radio station at night. These should be preserved as evidence that we have been to this world.

What he wants is not to be a migrant worker. Although he has inexhaustible power, he will eventually pursue his own sun. Later, he gradually realized that there is a sun in everyone's heart. That sun may not be the one hanging in the sky, but it can certainly shine and give off heat. It is hidden in a corner of his heart, and sometimes it thunders and thunders, but as long as there is a gap to let the sun shine in, all this can disappear.

10

Seven chases the sun overhead every day. He knows that every step of his life is for the sun in his heart.

Year after year, my pockets are bulging, and the photos taken with my mobile phone are directly praised.

Just as he was expecting all this, his father died.

It was raining cats and dogs on the day I came home. Sitting on the train, he looked at the garbage all over the mountain and couldn't shed a tear.

In Ah Qi's world, one sun has not yet risen, but the other sun has disappeared forever.

Seven went home to take care of things, and didn't get on the train leaving home until the next spring. He thinks this is the first time he has left here.

This time, he missed the sun. He didn't know where he should go, leaving things to the north and south. Suddenly my body was hot, and that night in 2008, the bright moonlight suddenly came to my mind.
